Sophie Turner is making headlines with her Taylor Swift inspired look, and the Dish Nation crew is breaking it all down on season 7 episode 252. The Game of Thrones star took to Instagram with a selfie wearing a colorful tie-dye shirt, a beanie, and a face full of glitter freckles that looked suspiciously like the look Taylor Swift rocked in her "You Need to Calm Down" music video. The hosts have mixed feelings as they comment on the borrowed look, with some impressed by Turner's newfound fashionista status and others questioning if she's simply copying the pop star's style.
Next up on the show, the team discusses Blake Shelton's recent announcement that he won't be walking down the "Old Town Road." The country singer, who's known for his hits like "God's Country" and "Honey Bee," was offered the chance to collaborate with rapper Lil Nas X on the record-breaking hit "Old Town Road," but turned it down. While some of the hosts are baffled by Shelton's decision, others point out that he's not the first country artist to shy away from the genre-bending track.
As always, the Dish Nation crew has plenty of other pop culture stories to cover in season 7 episode 252. The hosts weigh in on Justin Bieber's recent admission that he's been struggling with Lyme disease, as well as the drama surrounding actress Vanessa Hudgens' recent split from her long-time boyfriend. They also chat about the viral moment from the Golden Globes, when Tom Hanks' face during comedian Ricky Gervais' controversial opening monologue became an instant meme.
Of course, the show wouldn't be complete without a healthy dose of celebrity gossip. The hosts dish on rumors that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott might be getting back together, as well as Jaden Smith's surprising admission that he's been in a relationship with rapper Tyler the Creator. They also break down some of the juiciest Bachelor Nation headlines, including Hannah Brown's dating life and Peter Weber's upcoming season as The Bachelor.
While the stars are often the focus of Dish Nation, the show also takes time to highlight some of the everyday heroes making a difference in the world. In season 7 episode 252, the hosts spotlight a Florida man who's been using his personal boat to help rescue animals in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. They also share the story of a Virginia man who's been helping his community, one haircut at a time, by offering free haircuts to those in need.
Overall, season 7 episode 252 of Dish Nation has something for everyone. From celebrity drama to heartwarming tales of kindness, the show covers the latest and greatest in pop culture with a healthy dose of humor and wit. Catch the episode to get in on all the conversation.
